Based on this analysis, an example of source language is ‘Theres
something about you that so incredibly… irritating’
.
The Utterance above is an expressive utterance classified as an affront statement. The strategy of the
subtitling is deletion. Deletion refers to the total elimination of parts of a text. In the dialogue the subtitler omits the word “incredibly”. Although he leaves
the word untranslated, the omission does not change the information to the audience. The subtitler uses deletion strategy because in the target language
the word “incredibly” isn‟t translated, however the omission doesn‟t change the information.
Based on the explanation above, the writer chooses this topic Subtitling Analysis on Expressive Utterance
